New Kitchen Items - UPDATED!!


I don't normally buy a lot of gifty type things, but it's nice to have something this time of year for those secret friend gifts, co-worker gifts, little happies for teachers, etc. So, when I saw these I decided to pick up a few!

They're measuring spoon sets with a decorative wall bracket to hold them! They come in hummingbird, rooster, flower & cross varities. The picture below is a 1 tbs. coffee measuring scoop in a heart design that comes with its own hanger.

Barbara asked for more detailed photos... so here they are -- closeups of each set !

Countdown to Holiday Open House!!!

It's just two weeks from tomorrow that we'll have the store turned into .... well, a furniture/home decor/antique store with Christmas decorations in it! HA!

We don't try to compete with all the great Bruce area shops with Christmas decor, just add a little bit to our furniture & accessories during the holidays. As I said in a recent newsletter, after you decorate your home and tree with items from other are merchants, you can find something to put UNDER the tree from Artifacts!

This year we're offering something a little unique. We have Christmas Wish List tags with which you can tag merchandise so your friends and family will know just what you really are hoping to find under the tree. A couple have already found their way onto some furniture items in the store! The deal with these is -- as many people as desire can "wish list" an item, but the first person (or person's family member, etc) who puts money down or buys it outright gets it and a "Santa has this item reserved for....." tag is added. All the other wish list tags are then taken off. All's fair in love, war & layaway, right!?

I hope to have new photos on the web page and facebook, (hello, all you facebook friends who like to see everything FIRST!!) after we finish doing some rearranging and remodeling this weekend.

Bookmark on your computer these VITAL websites! I try to cross-post pictures/information on all of them, but who knows what you might miss if you don't check them ALLLLLLL!
